BORN BTWN 1975-1990: THE FAMOUS Y-GENERATION

If you were born between the above specified periods, you can fit in the famous Y-generation. This is a generation whose biggest claim to big jobs and high salaries is not based on experience unless you started working as an infant  but on the knowledge of the thing that is driving the world this days, IT. This is a generation that does not believe in waiting for long for things to happen, the pesapap generation where thins happen at the snap of a finger. The so called microwave lifestyle has realy made most of the people in this generation lazy and a new binomial nomenclature remember this crap in high school of names like couch potato and others are becoming a normality. While the older generation are used to wait for 10yrs for a promotion, the Y generation doesn’t really give a damn ho long they’ve worked, if they need a raise or promotion which they deem fit they will raise it. They don’t believe in protocol, well it’s the biggest killer of creativity but they want to have access to their CEO at any given moment.

       It’s a known fact that the Y-generation contains some of the most creative minds you will ever find anywhere, so you either pay us well or we start our own companies we got 20 yrs to fail n ultimately succeed . They are not hard to please and if they can play away from the norm, like coming to work in jean, then that’s considered cool. They don’t believe in hard work I particularly don’t , I actually believe in working smart, that there is a big difference between activity and achievement. Well in school I was told that its about working smart n not working hard that will help me nad I believe its very true.

           Over the last few years there has been tremendous growth in technology. While Bill gates gave us windows & Office, Larry Elison at Oracle gave us databases, the other Larry page and sergey brin gave us Google, which is now a verb though nobody can quantify what on earth google stands for. Then of course Steve Jobs who is smarter than all the above revolutionized four different areas. 1^st he gave us animation (Pixar), then he gave us the Ipod and Itunes, then the famous macbook pro n macbook air, then ofcourse the life changer Iphone, Recently he introduced the Ipad and am not sure what other Icrap he is working on. With strides like those during your lifetime, you are bound to be a bit smarter if not more stupid  than the other generations. all pun intended  am actually jazzed at what the next level generation of gadgets will be like. These days you can follow a live blog of an event in Cupertino don’t realy know how a place can be called such a name or get updates on facebook and tweets on twitter. Here in Kenya we got three things happening, the fibre optic is here, the thika super highway will be an architectural marvel in east and central Africa and lastly, we got a new constitution. We had better make good use of them.
